May not be what i have but heres a rundown of a few of my oddities that I have been wondering about
I cook something and the directions say 1/2 cup water. To get the 1/2 cup water, I will stay at the faucet and just look at the measuring thing to make sure I have exactly 1/2. If it looks too much, i'll take out a few drops. If its short, I'll add a few. I will do this until it looks to be exactly 1/2.
Same for painting using a paint tray. Me and another guy was out painting propane tanks and I paint the tank bodies themselves. I just HAVE to have the perfect amount of paint in the tray. I'll make sure it isnt too much or too little. If anything I measure in liquids is too little or too much, I have to make it correct or it just bugs the tar out of me until I fix it.
It works for dry items also.
At work I needed to mix up eight 5 gallon buckets of 50/50 0-0-60 Potash and 18-46-0 DAP. there wasnt enough of it to throw into a blender, I just dumped it into a pile in a bin and mixed it together by hand. I know how it looks when its mixed good, so here I am with a shovel mixing it up. A pile of about 100 pounds worth and it looks like it needs more phosphate. So I will take my shovel and get about two pounds of it to mix together (note, 100 pound pile).
Then I just stand/sit there and watch it while thinking if its enough or not.
Is it time for the padded room and nice warm straightjacket?

have you adjusted for the change in volume due to temperature change?

Crap....
Why does the word "Flying" have to be on top of the word "Monkeys"?.
Man.... I didn't need this.

FLYING MONKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAAAAAAAA

I love Monk. He's so hilarious. Anyhow, everyone has their little peeves. Nothing wrong with that.

all my keys on my key chain MUST have the teeth facing the same way IE: when you hold all the keys themselves the flat edges are all together.
also they must be in this order:
Car Ignition
Car Door (if there is one)
Apartment front door
Apartment Door
Step-Father's Door
Best Friends door
NO other keys on my main key chain. I keep all other on a separate ring in my car for when I may need them.
I compulsively need to clear my throat, and clear my tongue. I feel like there is a spiderweb in my mouth some times and must "spittle" blowing air out of my mouth to get rid of it.
all of my MP3's MUST be named in the following convention: Artist - Song Title with the single spaces either side of the - and proper capitalization of each word. I can NOT have a "The" capitalized unless it is the first word of a title.
My DVD's are organized by genera, then same actor/actress, then chronological IE: in the general comedy section: Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy...
All of my blankets have a designated "foot" end and "head" end.
thats about it for now.

You are not O-C.
If you were, you would have had to rewrite the the "Me and another guy was out painting" as "Another guy and I were out painting"

Really anything else dont bother me much
Just when it comes to measuring and guessing how much or little the volume of something is like I stated above, then it gets to me.
It definately..definately..DEFIN ATELY gets to me

Meat, you just need to watch a few episodes of Justin Wilson's Cajun Cookin'. He will either drive you past the brink of sanity or you will learn to embrace the hand measured teaspoon, Grasshopper.
This is your first lesson, Cajun Gumbo. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eK4umRMJlrs)

I used to work with a chick who was a tidyness freak. We shared an office and I took great pleasure at throwing screwed up bits of paper on the floor beside her :D

Just outta curiosity Meat, has previous employment involved the mixing of liquid explosives, pesticides or drugs by any chance? ;)

That is exactly right Xargos. I would know..i have OCD myself. Everything has to be done right. And..not trying to brag...I'm in the 10th grade now and i have only made one B on a report card(4th grade...hated the teacher:D ). But everything i do has to be done at a 110% efficiency. I went to a doctor and he said I am on the merge of having to take medication. Right now i'm doing well and am progressingly getting better.
That's just my $0.02 guys. Just thought I'd share.
Carry on,

Nope none that I can recall
But I did patch holes for a small city for a few weeks as a temp job since I unemployed for a little while
Must be round perfect piles of ashpalt to go into holes
no lumps
no lumps
no lumps
not too much, not too little
make happy pot hole happy with happy filling in of a happy liquid solid
And I am an excellent driver.

Its possible its just an age thing. Many years ago I used be that way measuring stuff for cooking, reciepe says 1/2 cup then by god its gonna be a 1/2 cup no matter how long it takes. As I got older I realized a smidge over or under didnt matter, and even older now, I dont even use measure cups much anymore. I'm that way about my MP3 files also, Artist then song name, but I also have my music filed by genre and decade, Jazz 30-40s, Rock 60s, Rock 70s, and so on.
I also had the same issue with letter writting, I started letters and then never finished them because I would re-write an entire letter if I mispelled a word or thought of something else to write but though it should have been earlier in the letter. I eventually cured myself of this problem by not writting any letters at all...
I consider myself LOCD (Lazy Obsessive Compulsive) I want things to be orderly but I'm too lazy to do anything about it, so I suffer with my disability in silence and have another beer.

Good news, Rednex!!!
In respect to your OCD, it seems you caught a break when it comes to spelling, word choice and grammar.

So Meatwad, half-full or half-empty?
-
Half empty until I get my hands on it
then its spilled on the ground :(

I hate to mention this Meat...
Did you compensate for the exact amount of fluid that clings to the measuring cup after you pour your liquid?
If you are going to be obsessive/complusive, do a bang up job of it! :aok
No matter how long you let it drip... there is always some left.

On audio related equipment...
I compulsively need to clean my headphone (http://www.amazon.com/Sony-7506-Pro-MDR-7506-Headphones/dp/B0002H02ZY) everytime I use it because facial oil always get on the pleather pads and leather headbands :furious
I'm obsessed about sound quaility. These days I have hard time downloading songs that are not below 320 kbits.
(ok I just confessed that I'm an audiophile:D )

Don't see a doctor for this, you'll regret it later because you'd have to checkmark 'Yes' next to a psych question in an insurance or FAA or military or whatnot form, and that's just trouble.
If it doesn't hurt your ability to live well, don't see a doc. Our society is wired to screw you already, don't make it easier for them than you have to.

"Audiophiles" are silly, I'm hoping you're just someone who likes high quality sound instead of an actual propeller-beany wearing audiophile.
Here's an example of what audiophiles buy:

That crap there is funny
I have two speakers, a volume knob, and run my cables along the carpet for added audio goodness
:rofl

nah I'm not that kind of audio lover. I just want the gear that pros use in most studios, like my headphones.
As for visual, I'm thinking about saving up for this:aok

Oh, I forgot: I do have some of those quirks too ~ I think it was from being in the army.
I have to wear a hat insead of sunglasses. I can't stand them.
I have to wear a hat instead of using an umbrella. Can't stand those either.
I can't stand to have my hair touching my face or neck at all. I have to put it up at all times.
Can't carry a purse either. They're obnoxious. If it don't fit in a wallet I don't need it.
